# What You'll Need:

→ Mushrooms

01 - 6 to 8 ounces small to medium-sized mushrooms

→ Breading Mixture

02 - 1/3 cup almond flour
03 - 1/3 cup raw shelled sunflower seeds, ground
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
07 - 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
08 - 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (optional, omit if dairy free)

09 - 1 extra-large egg, beaten (or 2 regular eggs)
10 - 1/2 tablespoon melted butter (omit if dairy free)

→ For Baking

11 - 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

→ Equipment

12 - 1 quart medium to large zippered storage bag

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat the bottom of a baking sheet evenly with avocado or olive oil.
02 - Rinse mushrooms thoroughly and dry completely with a kitchen towel. Set aside.
03 - Place raw shelled sunflower seeds into a blender or food processor. Pulse until a fine, powdered texture is achieved.
04 - Transfer ground sunflower seeds, almond flour, garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, dried parsley, and optional parmesan cheese into the zippered storage bag. Seal and shake well to combine all dry ingredients.
05 - Beat extra-large egg (or two regular eggs) in a small mixing bowl. Add melted butter if using and stir to combine.
06 - Dip each mushroom in the egg mixture to coat, then transfer it to the zippered bag with the breading mixture. Seal bag and shake gently until mushroom is evenly coated. Place coated mushroom on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Repeat dipping and coating process for all mushrooms, arranging each on the oiled baking sheet in a single layer.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, turning mushrooms over with tongs halfway through baking. Switch broiler to low for an additional 1 to 2 minutes for extra crispiness, monitoring closely to prevent burning. Serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly dry before breading to promote even coating and maximum crispiness.
